If you somehow incorrectly configured your Zyxel Keenetic router, or the router is unstable, you can reset the settings to the factory settings. In this article, we will consider two ways in which you can reset the settings on Zyxel Keenetic routers: using a special Reset button, and through the control panel. In fact, this is a very useful feature that often helps out during the operation of any router, not just the Zyxel.
I myself often do reset on routers, especially during the setup process. When something doesn't work out, I just do a reset and start over. And also, restoring the parameters will definitely come in handy in the event that you have forgotten the password for your router. More precisely, the password from entering the settings.
Hard and soft reset on Zyxel
The easiest way to reset is to press and hold the button for 10 seconds RESET (Reset) on your Zyxel Keenetic router.
Reset will completely clear all parameters. You will need to reconfigure your router. Set the parameters for connecting to the provider, configure the Wi-Fi network, etc. You can configure it using the example of configuring the ZyXEL Keenetic Start router.
After that, all settings will be restored to factory defaults. Button Reset recessed into the body of the router, therefore, you need to press it with something sharp. Press and hold for about 10 seconds, the router should be powered on.
The power indicator should blink actively, and the router will reboot. This means that the settings have been restored.
Soft reset (via control panel)
We go into the settings, if you do not know how, then see the instructions. Go to the tab System, and from above we choose Parameters... Click the button Return to factory settings.
A warning will appear that all settings will be deleted and all that. Push Yes.
We are waiting for the router to reboot.
That's all, the settings are reset. As you can see, nothing complicated. If you still have any questions, then ask them in the comments.
